After months of raising our salmon in partnership with , we finally got to release them! Our K-2 Salmon project integrates science, math, literacy, social studies, and art through meaningful environmental education. Students learned about the salmon life cycle, their importance to the ecosystem, and their cultural significance for our area and the Coast Salish people.

K-2 students celebrated the 100th day of school by creating collections of 100. Kids understand quantities more deeply when they can see, touch, and manipulate objects.

Our Pre-K class recently had the opportunity to visit the Mak Fai Kung Fu Dragon & Lion Dance Association (). They learned about the lion dance, the history behind it, the differences between the lions, and even how the eyes moved. They also learned about the music and how the drums are the heartbeat of the dance, signaling performers and guiding the story of the dragon. 🦁 🐉

💗Hansel & Gretel and the Heartmender💗 What an amazing play put on by our 3rd grade class! A fun twist on a classic adapted by our very own drama teacher Molly. They worked hard learning lines, staging, and bringing the story to life. Big congrats to all of the 3rd graders and everyone else who helped to put this show together.
